Katy Perry may be young, but she’s already taken the music industry by storm! Whether she’s performing sold-out shows or topping the charts with her smash singles, the recently-single songstress is a pop force to be reckoned with. And this summer, Ms. Perry is bound to take over the box office with her new film, Katy Perry: Part of Me.

The “California Gurl” recently sat down with Ellen DeGeneres and dished about her upcoming flick. Check out a few snippets from the interview, as well as a video, below!

Katy on her film ‘Part of Me’

Ellen:  Like you said, you shot the good, the bad.  Who knows what’s going to happen in your life when you start shooting things? You got married during that time.

Katy: I did.

Ellen: And then that didn’t turn out to last and that part of it is still in there?

Katy: I thought it was important for me..First of all, I thought it was important to show everything in between.  I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect and we know we’re not perfect, at all. I think it’s important start breaking down the idea that to achieve your dream you always have to be perfect or flawless or live in some kind of fantasy world.  So that’s why I decided to put everything into the film. In the most tasteful way. But mostly it’s about how I go there and the ride along the way which can be bumpy but mostly it was extremely fun…
